jmgutnon Django 1.7 alpha 1 released

> Additionally, users of South (a popular third-party package for schema migrations) should note that South is not compatible with the 1.7 alpha.

Is this because of the new migrations built-in module? [0]

jmgutnon How old are you and what's your oldest code online?

I'm 25. The oldest code I've online is 3 years old and it's from the time I used svn and google code. Actually I just reviewed it to remember old times... https://code.google.com/p/py2nsis/source/browse/trunk/main.p...

jmgutnon Forget about sql in 50 lines of python code

Totally agree. This is the reason I wrote this tiny toy "ORM" just for CRUD.

Not just teaching myself. This could teach anyone else that didn't know about object mappers. Even if this is the most insecure code in the world, it can be improved. That's the reason it is on github. You could contribute and add joins, unions, sanitize the user inputs, etc.

Of course I'm not saying this code is suitable for production. It's just a toy "ORM". How you could possibly think I'm trying to replace something like sqlalchemy with 50 lines of code? Please guys, I'm not gonna delete the repo. It's just for fun. I'll add a warning about the sql injection problems and explicitly tell that this code is NOT for production. Event when I think that is obvious.

jmgutnon Open Source made me the man I am

Open source is definitely the most amazing philosophy on software development.

Recently a guy at Facebook recruiting staff contacted me by email for a position inside the company saying that they liked what I've been building and publishing as open source.

I'd highly recommend to everyone that contributes with open source to attach their github/bitbucket/googlecode/etc accounts on their resumes.

I'm doing exactly that on my linkedin summary and it helped me a lot to introduce myself. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/juan-manuel-garc%C3%ADa/29/4a5/2...

jmgutnon Social Chat Widget For Websites

hey gavinjoyce,

Thanks for the advice! A default url based on the referrer could be cool!

It doesn't work on those sites because they disallow iframes to show their pages. Anyway we will work to find a way around this.
